Today was weird. I was at a meeting with a mix of law enforcement types, local and fed, and then Financial services security people from credit companies and banks of all types. The keynote speaker was a fed type, but the meeting was led by a representative of a private (not government) funded nonprofit. At the start of the meeting we were asked to stand for the pledge of allegiance which was unusual enough for me. But before we recited the pledge, while we standing, he asked us to bow our heads and then led a prayer during which he asked his deity to bless the meeting. I have been in this industry for sometime, and I was shocked. I have never seen such a thing. Is this becoming a normal part of corporate meetings? See More
